“Pathan is a match winner and is going to do something special in this tournament. I have a lot of belief in him and the entire team backs him and he backs himself as well. He is a match-winner and he will do something special very soon,” he told reporters here during a pre-match press conference here.

Gambhir said KKR do not not discuss their opponents and deliberate on team planning. “We have got a lot of courage in the dressing room. We are a very difficult side to beat,” he said.

Gambhir said he does not believe in words like momentum, but believes in playing good cricket.

Gambhir said the playing XI has not been picked for tomorrow’s match, but L Balaji is a great option for the captain for the sheer reason that he had played brilliantly in the first game and in the last IPL.
